On the annual railway transportation task, recently the National Railway Group held a teleconference on the whole railway. At the meeting, Lu Dongfu, chairman of the National Railway Group, said that in order to ensure the realization of the annual task goal, the battle of "Three Guarantees and three increases" was launched in the whole railway from September to the end of the year. Lu Dongfu stressed that we should make more efforts to increase freight transportation and make up for the shortage, stabilize bulk and white goods, deeply tap the potential of "six lines and six regions", strengthen the transportation organization of busy trunk lines and key regions, increase the volume and revenue of container transportation, cold chain transportation and multimodal transportation, maximize the benefit of the whole road, and ensure an 8% increase in the benefit of passenger and freight transportation throughout the year.

The fourth quarter is the peak season of railway freight transportation. The railway department releases the freight capacity of the tense section by adopting the "one day, one map" of ordinary speed line, optimizing freight rate strategy, improving the utilization efficiency.
